Last time, this time

Last lecture, we discussed Texture mapping What’s involved in a texel fetch operation?

This lecture How do we simulate how light interacts with

visible surfaces in computer graphics?

CS 354 5

Daily Quiz

1. How many texture coordinate components are used to access a cube map?

2. In conventional texture mapping, elements of the texture (texels) store color values. What is stored in the texel values for shadow mapping?

If bilinear filtering involves interpolating between 4 texel samples, mipmap bilinear filtering involves filtering how many texels?

Multiple choice: The interval between the Texel Selection and Texel Combinations stages of a texture fetch is meant to hide what?

a) texture seamsb) memory latencyc) cache hitsd) filtering artifactse) all of the above

What makes an apple red?

Child’s view:“an apple is red”

Image synthesis view:

“light, surface, and material interact to reflect light perceived as color, modeled via simplifying assumptions”

Why lighting?

Convey sense of surfaceroughness/smoothness

Convey sense of material Visual appearance

of plastic is differentthan copper or ebony

Realism Emotion

Teapots rendered

Rendering Equation Parts

Lo = outgoing light from x in direction ω

x = point on a surface ω = normalized outgoing light vector λ = wavelength of light t = time Le = emitted light at x going towards from ω

Rendering Equation Integral

∫ = integrate over a region Ω = region of a hemisphere

Together: “integrate overall the incoming directions for a hemisphere at a point x”

ωˊ = normalized outgoing light vector Li = incoming light at x coming from ωˊ n = surface normal at x (-ωˊ • n) = cosine of angle between incoming

light and surface normal dωˊ = differential of incoming angle

CS 354 14

Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function

Ratio of differential outgoing (reflected) radiance to differential incoming irradiance

Physically based BRDF properties Must be non-negative Must be reciprocal

Swap incoming & relected directions generates same ratio

Conserves energy Integrating over entire hemisphere must be ≤ 1

CS 354 15

Cosine Weighting for Irradiance

At shallow angles, incoming light spreads over a wider area of the surface Thus spreading the energy Thus dimming the received light

CS 354 16

Measuring BRDFs Empirically

Gonioreflectometer is device to measure BRDFs

Rendering Equation Interpretation

Recursive equation

Limitations Treats wavelengths all independent Treats time in Newtonian way Ignores volumetric and subsurface scattering More complex models can incorporate these aspects of light Impractical for actual computer graphics rendering

outgoing light “sums up” all incoming light

for all surfaces

CS 354 18

Light Sources

Real lights have “emissive regions” Simplifying assumption treats lights as points

Model area lights source as “lots of points”

Lights have color and attenuation Fall-off, spotlight, and shadow attenuation

CS 354 19

Area Light Source Modeled as Many Points

12 point light sources model an area light

CS 354 20

Light Attenuation

Energy of light in watts But energy received over a distance surface falls off

with the inverse square of the distance from the light

Steradian (st) is measure of solid angle

CS 354 21

Simple Light Source Types

Positional (point) light sources (x,y,z,1)

Directional (infinite) light sources Represented with

homogeneous corodinates

(x,y,z,0)

Spot light Directional lighting Often a cone or cone

with fall-off function

Linear light sources Ambient light

Useful as an error term

Directional light operates as if at infinity

Rays are essentially parallel—sun would be such a light

CS 354 22

Surface Types

Smooth surfaces reflect like mirrors Rough surfaces scatter light Real surfaces act as mixture of both

Smooth reflectivesurface

Rough diffusesurface

CS 354 23

Emissive Light Certain objects emit light

Various reasons: incandesce, burning, fluorescence, phosphorescence

Typically models as a emissive color

Micro-facet Specular

Think of the surface as have a statistical distribution of facet orientations OpenGL’s fixed-

function specular model

CS 354 28

Shininess

Modeled as exponential fall-off function Larger shininess exponent

values means a tighter specular highlight

Complement of shininess is roughness

Exponential fall-off also use to model Spotlight attenuation Fog effects

CS 354 29

CombiningLighting Contributions

Contributions can be summed Since RGB color components are additive Illumination color modulated by material color

Ambient Diffuse Specular Result

CS 354 30

Summing Multiple Lights

For each light source and each color component, the Blinn or Phong model can be written (without the distance terms) as

I = kd ld l · n + ks Is (v · r )α + ka Ia

I = kd ld l · n + ks Is (h · n )α + ka Ia

For each color component, we add contributions from all sources

Example: Normals for a Sphere

Parameterize sphere with latitude and longitude

Problem: What happens at the poles?

When θ is +90 or -90 degrees

CS 354 34

Transforming Normals

Recall: vertex and vector transformation Multiply transform matrix by column vector v’ = M v

How to transforming normals correctly Desire: n’ • v’ = n • v = nT v

Rationale: dot product should be invariant under coordinate space transformation

I = M-1 M nT I v = nT M-1 M v n’ = nT M-1, v’ = M v n’ = M-T n

Implication: column normal transformed by inverse transpose of transform matrix used for vectors

Flattening sphere bends normals up

Interactive computer graphics typically uses a local lighting model Simple but effective Models lighting as ambient, diffuse, and specular

interactions
